Product Description
The Osprey Talon G2 is a top - notch hardware - based streaming contribution encoder tailored for A/V and broadcast customers. It's an all - in - one end - to - end video - streaming solution. This encoder can take in video from multiple formats like 3G - SDI, HDMI, or Analog Composite, encode it to H.264, and send it over IP. Impressively, it can encode up to three streams at the same time, with frame alignment across all streams for multiple - bit - rate RTMP streaming. Users can create up to three separate encodes, such as one RTMP stream, one UDP stream, and a .ts file archive. Its simple Web - based interface makes it a breeze to access encoding settings and configure. With its small size, low power consumption, and silent, fanless operation, you can just set it up and forget about it. Technical Specifications: Video Input supports 3G SMPTE 424M, HD SMPTE 292M, SD SMPTE 259M, HDMI 1080P/60, and Composite (CVBS). Video Connector includes Composite (RCA x 1), SDI (BNC x 1), and HDMI. Audio Input has unbalanced stereo, Embedded SDI (1 stereo pair), and Embedded HDMI (1 stereo pair). Audio Connector is unbalanced stereo (3.5mm x 1). It supports various Video Modes. Encoding options cover Video Encoding (H.264 RTMP, RTP, MPEG - 2 TS UDP, .TS File) and Audio Encoding (AAC - LC & AAC - HE, 32 to 320 kbps). Closed Captioning (EIA - 608 & EIA - 708) Type 1 ATSC Picture User Data is automatically embedded. LED indicators show Power, Encoding, and Signal Lock for SDI, HDMI, and Composite. The package includes the Talon G2 Encoder, an International Power Supply, and Mounting Brackets.
Using the Osprey Talon G2 encoder is easy. First, connect your video source to the appropriate input port, like 3G - SDI, HDMI, or the composite input. Then, connect your audio source to the audio input. After that, use the Web - based interface to access the encoding settings. You can choose the encoding format, bit - rate, and other options as you need. For example, you can set up an RTMP stream for live broadcasting or save an archive as a .ts file. When it comes to maintenance, keep the encoder in a clean and dry place. Since it has a fanless design, it doesn't need much in terms of ventilation. However, make sure there's no dust accumulation around it. Also, handle the power supply carefully. Don't plug it into an unstable power source to avoid damage to the encoder. And when you're done using it, just turn it off properly through the power switch.
